0.33 l bottle from 'Bierwinkelier.nl', best before January 2025. Hazy, golden amber with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, gently fruity-floral, slightly yeasty-spicy aroma of clove, lemon peel, some straw and light gooseberry. Slightly sweet, moderately bitter, gently fruity-floral and a bit yeasty-spicy taste of grains, straw, some lemon peel and hints of gooseberry, followed by a short, gently bitter, slightly dry finish. Almost medium-bodied, gently effervescent, soft carbonation. Quite good for such a low abv, good body, fairly quaffable.

Bottle to go from dB’s. Smells like Noord Hollandse. Dusty herbs, a lot of CO2, cloves, coriander, dead yeast. Very herbal and very dry with some light sweetness. Very overcarbonated. Quite typical Noord Hollandse aroma, yuck.
